Worksheet 4.

Designing and planning Video and Animation - Storyboards

Whenever you want to do a video or an animation it is very important that you think of the scenes first and think about all the resources that you will need. Eg. A film may need actors and certain props, as well as a camera of course. Animation will not need as much hardware but you may need to download images or take photos to use in the animation.

Planning video and animation is done using a storyboard where you break the video/animation down into scenes and then draw/describe the action in each scene.

An example is shown below.

Describe 3 features of a storyboard:

1. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Extension storyboard activity.

Read the storyboard above and complete the task by creating your own ending. I would expect you to add at least 5 more frames to the storyboard.
